Burnley's Brady out for 'substantial' period due to knee injury

The Clarets star sustained the devastating problem during his side's 1-0 away defeat to Leicester City, and the prognosis for Brady does not make for good reading.

Brady landed awkwardly in a clash with Harry Maguire at the weekend and is set to undergo surgery. Examinations afterward revealed the full extent of the injury to the tendon, and the midfielder will need a long-term recovery lasting into next summer.

That is frustrating news for player and club, with Brady a key creative outlet and dead-ball specialist in Burnley's rise to seventh in the Premier League table, but Dyche wants others to step forward in his absence.

Brady is the sixth Burnley player to suffer a serious knee injury in four-and-a-half years, with Sam Vokes, Kevin Long, Dean Marney, Ashley Barnes and Lukas Jutkiewicz all being diagnosed with cruciate ligament injuries, with Marney close to a first-team return after his second such injury in three years.

"We will be looking to be active to fill the gap". "I've said many times, we aren't a club that can cherry pick".

His outstanding run of form has helped the Clarets make a best start to a top-flight season since 1973/74, with Dyche's side now sitting seventh in the table. I think he's moulded into what we do as a group and his part within that.
